Costs associated with <br />assigned personnel are expected to increase at inflationary levels to accommodate wage & benefit -related <br />increases. The increase in `Other Services & Charges' are primarily due to higher water meter software <br />licensing costs and energy costs at the booster station. <br />The single largest operating cost for the water operation is the purchase of wholesale water from the St. <br />Paul Regional Water System (SPRWS). SPRWS Officials have informed us that there will be a 3.7% <br />increase in the cost of purchasing wholesale water in 2020. This will require an increase in the usage rates <br />charges to water customers. This will be the first usage rate increase since 2014. <br />The revised 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies added infrastructure replacement costs <br />in the coming years which will require a 6.0% increase in the water base fee. <br />Sanitary Sewer Operations <br />The City maintains a sanitary sewer collection system to ensure the general public's health and general <br />welfare.

Costs associated with assigned <br />personnel are expected to increase at inflationary levels to accommodate wage & benefit -related <br />increases. The projected revenues have been adjusted to account for lower wastewater flows which have <br />been in decline in recent years. This decrease however has been offset by rising treatment costs charged <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />
